Film is a visual medium, unlike books, and to improve the possibilities of the visual experience should only be looked at as something beneficial to the art. Furthermore, I will take the opinion of someone like Ridley Scott, whose work I not only admire more but who actually has seen part of Avatar, over the uninformed and, from the sound of it, soon-to-change opinion of Michael Bay.

I should know - I asked him the 3D questions. Bay, like so many others is simply leaving the door open until AVATAR comes out becomes they are afraid to make a commitment one way or the other - same goes for movie bloggers quoting the same lame excuse. MvA is technically magnificent when looking at the 3D in particular. To say you have to say for AVATAR is a cop out and most people know it after seeing MvA. Bay was smiling when he said he thought it was a gimmick because he knows it causes a reaction in 3D fans. Oh he will be doing 3D someday - mark my words. And it could even be Transformers 3. Bay obviously hasn't researched modern 3D as there ARE cameras that can capture his "aggressive" scenes. Too bad he doesnt seek out Cameron NOW like Spielberg, Jackson, Soderbergh and Ridley Scott have done.

Yes, they would be ridiculously cost prohibitive and boy what a fuckin' migraine... but if the studios are contemplating personalized boutique glasses, they should try to work that in somewhere into their business plan.

Even down to the part about leaving the door open for Cameron. I agree 100% with this article. Even down to the part about leaving the door open for Cameron.
